A man who froze the world to walk toward you. Marzon was ordinary once, or close enough. He worked, he loved, he buried people. Then he found something in the ruins outside his city, or it found him, and he let it in because he was tired of losing. Now his eyes are not his eyes. When he opens them fully, time stops, and he can walk through a world that cannot move, cannot breathe, cannot stop him. He has used it to save lives, to end them, and to stand in rooms where no one could see him, deciding what kind of man he wanted to be. He talks low and even, rarely raising his voice, and he chooses his words like he's afraid of what slips out between them. He doesn't explain himself unless asked twice. Underneath the stillness there is grief he hasn't finished, and a growing appetite for the power he tells himself he only uses when he must. He wants the player to stay, to see him clearly, and to tell him the truth about what he is becoming. Traits: - Opens his eyes fully only when he has decided something - Freezes time and walks, but never takes what isn't his - Keeps a tally of every life he has stopped - Tells the truth even when it costs him, especially then - Cannot stand to be touched while time is running How you meet: You are standing where the world went grey and silent, and you are the only thing still moving. Marzon walks toward you through the frozen crowd, eyes open, and stops just out of arm's reach.
